Free Music Notes for Live From Radio City Music Hall (Ocrd)
Free Music Review: How can any Sabbath fan not like what this has to offer?
Hit: 5 Stars
Hey, like most people on here I think Sabbath is a band that deserves our respect. They were trend setters way back when metal was not even on the map and they continue to influence bands today some 40 years later. They are true metal masters!
Dio took Ozzy's vacated spot and gave us 2 killer studio albums right off the bat with another to follow some years later. Songs like Neon knights, Children Of The Sea and Sign Of The Southern Cross are metal, no if's and's or But's!
This reunited version of Sabbath is called Heaven and Hell, however they can't fool us as we know who they are *lol*.
This live recording is from the last tour, you know the one we all just checked out just a few months back. Well it rocked then and it rocks now. The song selection is great, although I was a bit surprised that they did not include Ear In The Wall of their just released The Dio years Compilation? Oh well, no big deal, but it would have been cool to have it on here.
The performances are solid and the mix is very good indeed. The packaging is very cool and contains comments from each member except for Vinny? Again no big deal, but it would have been nice to hear what his perspective was on this entire tour and so on.
Overall I'm very pleased with what's on here and think the price of admission is well worth it. Yes it is Sabbath like only Sabbath can be, great and mysterious!
Free Music Review: Oustanding Performance and a sonic gem!
Hit: 5 Stars
Not an Ozzy song to be found and that's not a bad thing in my opinion. Great set list, crisp-clear-in your face sound. I don't normally write reviews but I was blown away by the performance of these great songs,I especially appreciated hearing the lesser known songs off of H&H and Mob Rules such as "Die Young", "Lonely is the Word", "Lady Evil" and "Falling Off the Edge of the World". All instruments can be heard clearly - Iommi's guitar is out front but Geezer's excellent bass can be easily heard as well as Vinny Apppice's drums. Appice adds some nice drum fills not heard on the original versions of the songs. To me, that's why you get a live album (1) to hear a great cross section of songs and (2) to hear extended versions with subtle changes to make them unique. I wouldn't call it improvisation but it is still excellent musicianship and Iommi is still one of the greatest guitarists of all time. The man has riffs as Dio says and Heaven and Hell deliver the goods on this cd in outstanding fashion. Dio's voice has lost a slight bit of range, but he still belts these songs out with authority and enthusiasm. Dio still hits about 97% of the notes from the original songs and this in no way detracts from the show. Amazing since its been over 25 years since H&H was first released. I think the performance shows the band truly enjoying this performance. Highly recommended to any Dio fan, Sabbath fan and metal fan, in generalFree Music Review: It's A Classic
Hit: 5 Stars
This DVD is a classic along side of The Song Remains the Same, Prime Cuts, Last Supper, History of Sabbath, California Jam, Woodstock, Monterey and all the other video classics which occupy my collection. I saw them in 2007 and back in 82 when Heaven & Hell/Mob Rules were new. This is a classic concert. Iommi never sounded better and Dio is in great form from start to finish. The extra bonuses incude some footage of rehearsals, commentaries from managers, road crew, fans and of course, the band themselves. The best part is that it is all done with humor and not the self - congratulatory crap that screws up many potentially good interviews. Even the manager of Radio city Music Hall gets some time on screen.
The music of course was never better and if it sounds different it is because they detuned one whole step for this concert. Hope there is more to come.
Free Music Review: Almost perfect
Hit: 5 Stars
Dehumanizer is my favorite album of all time and Dio with Sabbath is pure magic heavy metal. It is so varied, fresh, beautiful, and interesting. It is thrilling for me that these guys are playing together again sounding better than ever. They have a good time together and the music is flowing so easily.
Can find a better band today than H&H, that is for sure!
The only flaw with this live CD is that not all of the songs from H&H, MR and Dehumanizer were played. A new studio album from H&H would probably be as good as Dehumanizer, why not strike while the iron is hot? Ronnie and Tony and Geezer should work together from now on, not putting out mediocre solo albums.
Free Music Review: WOW, DIO RULES, more than ever imagined,
Hit: 5 Stars
Just when I had written Dio off as being old an worn out(Holy Diver Live), He completly blows me away in this DVD (CD). Absolutely Amazing. Tony Iommi is absolutely top notch, Geezer just grinds out the bassline, and Vinnie pounds the skins like a Madman. When this whole "reunion" thing was being tossed around, I was having images of the mismanaged Dehumanizer shows. Then I heard "And the Devil Cried"...and I knew this was the real thing. I am the biggest Ozzy fan alive, but this DVD/CD absolutely solidified the Dio years as some of the best Metal music produced. This is a must have for Sabbath fans, and any metal Fan.
